>The 'Hog is practically the archetype of "More DAKKA!" Lots more play WH40k than you'd think :) Dude, I'm NOT sh*ttin' you.
There are MORE nerds in flight suits than I think anyone suspects...
And NOT just flying UAVs... ;)
If I had a dime for every Star Wars reference.... I mentioned before we had a guy in my squadron in Korea who's callsign was (and still is) Porkins...
....and for every Marine I've ever heard make a "Corporal Hicks" joke...("Game over man")
or a "Vasquez" joke...
...or the SMSgt with the Robotech figures (I think they were from the Exosquad re-release from a couple years back actually) all over his office (guy made command chief last time I checked)...
...or the SSgt at my last base who was filming his own zombie movie on the weekends...
...then there was this one linguist...brilliant kid....little "off"....had half a space marine army in his cubicle.
or the Lt who works for me now, who's an active member of the 501st :) - Stormtrooper. Keeps trying to get me to join (I ain't spending a grand on storm trooper armor, sorry).
The military has gotten much, much, MUCH more "fen" than I think most people realize.
Ever check out the webcomic Air Force Blues? Or any books by (TSgt) Michael Z. Williamson? (at least, I think he's a tech - his website shows him as a SSgt in '98)...
Don't get me started on Transformers - we (zoomies) were just happy to have "our" movie finally, that wasn't Iron Eagle... friggin' Navy and their Top Gun...
